Somehow .hal-mtab was filled with a bunch of /dev/sdb2 /media/IPOD ........ lines -- mine had like 8 of those lines in it. I am willing to bet that these were what caused the error.
Should HAL clean up its mtabs on boot? -- Unmount fails every time https://launchpad.net/bugs/85424 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
